Care of the Eyes.
Some common defects are:

Some common defects are:
l. Small shaded writing Oh the black
boards, to be copied and read to the
scholars.
2. Young children writing "f:ne" or
standard sized letters, and often below
the standard size.
Using states SO small as to oblige
the child to write and figure in q small,
cramped, crowded manner.
4. Using chair lines" in writin,r, and
small forms in primary drawing.
The eye of the six-year- old ch lid is
not microscopic, it has not reache d that
maturity that allows of scanning. and
comparing small objects, or short, deli
cate lines; and if forced into this sort
OF work, nature is wronged and the eye
permanently injured. In order not to
be indefinite, the weakness of many
educational hints and directions, the
following taken from the successful
school-room is offere d:
Q) Size Of board uriting-unerten.led
letters: Two to two and half inches.
done in "broad" line with no faint
lines.
(2) Size Of slates: None less than
eight inches by twelve inches. Pupils
over ten years of age should have
states nine inches by thirteen inches.
No small, double states should be 7sed.
(3) Size Of slate uriting: Begin uers
should make the unextended let sers
one-fourth Of an inch in height. md
should not be allowed to make tn, I'm
smaller until q good form has becon ae
habitual. Large states do much for tb ,e
progress and discipline of the schoo. !.
The child with large slate has room
TO preserve his work as evidence of
study and preparation; and when black
board surface is lacking, large states in
measure may fill the want.
The school of to-day calls upon the
eye for long, severe exercise, and un- |
less something more is done than to
talk and read about the strain of the |
school on the eye, the number Of peo-
pie twenty years OF age with strong, |
normal eyes will grow less and less

Letter Writing.

We knew teacher once who allowed
her youngest pupils to write letters to
her' which, after school, they placed in
a drawer of her desk called the "post
ofhce. Here, too. in the morning they
found answers. 1t was a delightful &C.
cupation to the children to write and
receive letters. As the term advanced
the letters became more and more in
telligible to the teacher. The writing,
spelling and formation of the sentences
spoke well for the merits Of this occu.
patton. 1t would not be possible for
every teacher to follow this plan often.

the number of her pupils was SMALL

Profits Of the Farm.

Whether farmers get their right
full share of the farm profits
depends not only upon their
ability to market what Il ely have
to sell, as well as upon the care
fulness oil the wife also. For
instance, the farmer may be very
careful about feeding his cows,
keeping them clean, etc, but un-
less the housewife supplements
his close attention with the same
care of the milk, cream and dairy
utensils, his extra work amounts
to but little. We have now in our
minds eye farmer who receives
five cents above the market price
for his butter. from the fact that
his city customers found that the
quality was the same throughout
the year, and as good as any to be
found in the market. Now the
extra five cents is all profit, and he
Is entitled to it. Nor is that all the
profit, for once a customer is OBJ
tanned it Is usually for a whole
season, and market thus opened
for other produce. In this way
much time is saved in marketing,
and middlemen entirely dispensed
with. 1t brings him in the cash
and this enables him to buy where
ne can get the most for the money.
which is another profit he reaps.
1t IS always best for farmer to
establish a reputation for sell
ing a good article In order to get
his full share of the profit on any,
thing he has to sell. Another
thing, a farmer, in order to make
ready sale of any kind of produce
direct to the customers, should
establish a reputation for honest
dealings, i, e., never represent
an article to be little better than
1t really is, for confidence once
lost is never regained. Baltimore

Ends to be secured by exercises in
spelling:
Gay A knowledge OF the meaning Of
words.
(b) A knowledge of the form of
words, (oral, written.)
(c) A knowledge Of the letters of
which the words are composed.
(d) A knowledge OF correct pro-
nunciation.
icy A knowledge of division into
syllables.
O) A knowledge of accentuation
and marks used to indicate it.
tO A knowledge of phonic elements
and marks.
METHOD OF TEACHING
/. ORAL SPELLING:
~ Preparation.
Gay By object teaching, excite the
idess of which the words to be spelled
are the names.
(b) Teach the oral names.
(c) Teach the written or printed
forms of the names by the use OF the
blackboard.
(d) Lead the pupils to observe the
words as wholes, then the parts in
their order.
(e) Require the pupils in their
study to reproduce the words Of the
lesson, both in their oral and their
written form.
(2) Recitation, Oral Method.
The spelling lesson having been
learned and the spelling class being
in order for recitation, oral spelling
may be conducted as follows.

name first letter, the next the second
letter, and so on until the letters of a
syllable have been named, the next

GLEANINGS.

Corn is not a wholesome food
for sheep, and should be given
spsringly. Good clover hay and
some roots will keep sheep in ex-
cellent store condition. The
small gain-if any-from regular
grain feeding for a breeding flock
will not pay for the food. Regu-
larlty in feeding is worth more to
the flock than a good deal of grain
given by 'fits and starts" Sheep
do we'll in a well Uttered floor
without removing the manure all
the winter. All the manure is
saved, and the constant trampling
keeps it from heating and fermen-
ting. Forty or fifty sheep viii
make large quantity of manure
in this way, and clover hay and
bran cannot be turned into plant
food in any cheaper or easier
way.
Oil, says the American Agrlcul-
turist, g fatal to every insect it
touches, and sulphur is very
offensive to them. A mixture of
four ounces of lard and one of
sulphur, well rubbed together,
and with the addition of one ounce
of kerosene oil and one drachm of
creosote, will be found an excellent
remedy against all sorts of insect
vermin, while the liberal use of
kerosene oil on poultry roosts will
free the fovlSof their tormentors.
II these Last days clear up the
ysad and garden, use all that is
ayailable, and burn the rest. 1t
Is dreary enough to look out upon
a snow-covered scene, but it is
more desolate when old stalks
stand like monuments here and
there, and heaps of rubbish rise
above the snow.
Sheep manure contains from
ninety to ninety-fve per cent, of
the plant food contained in the
rations consumed. tits, therefore,
a very rich fertilizer, as experience
has shown. 1t is especially rich
in nitrogen in TN available form,
and for that reason is excellent
for us as a starter in the hill for
corn aid potatoes.
Carrots, especially the long
orange variety, are good to be fed
to horses with other food, as they
aid digestion aud keep the stomach
in order.
Plenty of fresh bedding should
be provided for all the animals,
and pigs should be emphatically
included. the sty and the swine
should be kept clean,
